Vets Carry Heavy Diamond Load
By GPNTLAND RICE
IXTEEN major.league ball clubs
are under way again in two of
the closest-looking pennant races
the grizzled old game has seen in
many seasons. In the absence of
important rookies through the last
ten years, the main burden will
fall upon veterans, who have been
writing most of the story from one
campaign to another since 1941.
This means Stan Musial, Joe DI-
Maggio, Ted Williams, Country
Slaughter, Phi] Riz-
zuto, Pee Wee
Reese. Eddie Stank-
ey, Bob Feller, Hal
Newhouser, Ewell
Blackwell, Johnny
Mize and many,
many more.
Baseball is now.
in the main. an old
man's game with
only a few younger
Grantla0d Rke stars crowding into
the picture. Wars and drafts have
more than cut into its natural
growth, The scene has changed
only .sfighfly from a year ago on
this April date.
In 1950 the pennant contend.
ers in the Amerlcap League
were New York, Boston, De-
trolt, and Cleveland. The same
four are rated in the hunt today
with Red Rolte's Tigers rated
farther back, due largely to
the loss of their star young
pitcher, Art Houtteman.
Of these four contenders the Bos-
ton Red Sox have drawn the strong-
est help in the persons of Lou
Boudreau, a fine infielder and an
inspirational field leader, plus Bill
Wight and Ray Scarborough, two
first-class pitchers.
Tom Yawkey, the Red Sox owner.
is a very stubborn person when he
sets out for a goal. He also has
what it takes to reach that goal. if
you give him time enough and a
few breaks. The race in the Amer-
ican League among the Yankees,
Red Sex and Indians should carry
deep into September's stretch
In the National League a new
entry has moved into the pic-
ture as far as the pennant race
is concerned. This new ehal-
longer is Leo Durocher's New
York Giants.
The Giants now move alongside
with the Dodgers and the Phillies,
posslbly thq soundest club in their
circuit. Chuck Dressen's Dodgers
have the best team in baseball,
outside of the pitchers' corral. Here
they are weak, or at least uncertain

race. Outside of Giants, Dodgers,

finish, Braves and Cardinals
anguish to the leading contenders.
So can Luke Sewell's Cincinnati
Reds who have been moving up
steadily with a younger ball club
that should now be about ready.
Ten- and twelve-year veterans can't
rte this game forever.
The Phillies and Reds have
most of the new material base-
ball has collected recently and
this may begin to show for the
Reds this summer. It won a
pennant for the Pldllles a year
ago. With Curt Simmons
around, I think the Philfies
would have won again. They
may, anyway.
There are many weak spots in
the leading teams from both
leagues. No one knows yet how
many games the brilliant Joe Di-
Maggie, a great ballplayer, can
handle. No one knows how long
Ted Williams' shattered elbow will
stay in place. Stan Musial seems
to b better set for another year
of stardom than anyone else•
It is quite possible that Lou Bou-
dreau will have more effect upon
his mates than any other single
player• For Boudreau moves into
pennant this season, Tom Yawkey
might as well fire the entire squad
and start from scratch again. The
rejuvenation of the Giants will be
one of baseball's most helpful fea-
tures. The game has needed them
badly in past years, The feats of
magic to be shown again by the
remarkable Casey Stengel will be
something to watch. You can be
sure that Stengel will get as much
out of his fine-up as any manager
now in baseball. At least he has
for the last two years.
The Case of Johnny Mize
In Mantle and" Morgan, the
Stengel Yankees have possibly the
two best rookies in either league.
It might work out that way, They
have another member of the "M"
club in a fellow known as Mize.
who isn't a rookie,
It has been a matter of 21 years
since Big John, the demon of
Demorest. Ga., reported to Greens-
boro as a first baseman.
In 1931 Mize was batting .337 and
hq has been a .390 or not far from
.300 hitter ever since. He ran into a
streak of 15 consecutive years with
various teams when he batted an
average of .330.
Big John has always been a gen-
fie, easy-going fellow and practical-
ly everyone who knows him likes
him. He never had the speed to
beat out hits after the manner of
Cobb, DiMaggio, Jacksor Speaker,
Williams and other star hitters. His
hits had to come the hard way--
earned with hs bat and not his
legs.
Here's An Idea
How about women as anglers
That's a question which should
concern every angler who is mar-
ried, or who is about to be; for
the right answer can mean a lot
to him in the fishing days to come
That isn't meant from the selfish
angle of getting one's wife or
sweetheart to fish simply so the
male can also, go fishing without
stirring up any rows. Instead, it is
a sincere suggestion for enhancing
the pleasure astream or on the lake
or the angler with women folk in
the family.
Without meaning to turn traitor
to our sex, we contend that it is an
academic fallacy to summarily dis-
Can you do that on a fly rod?
Helen Weber did, and Its helps
prove our contention that wom-
en have a deserved place
alongside men as competent
anglers. Miss Weber, daughter
of the late O. L. Weber, who
founded the Weber Lifelike Fly
Co., Stevens Point, Wisconsin,
caught thi• 5-feet, 10 and one-
half inch tarpon in tile Gulf of
Mexleo--a world's record fly
rod catch. Naturally, she was
using a fly rod, Weber's mono-
gram model weighing 6 ounces.
miss women anglers with disdain-
ful superiority, which is so often
the case. It may surprise some
readers of this department to know
that milady, thank you, does right
well handling a fishing rod. If
there are skeptics who snort at
this, let them peruse Field &
Stream's list of prize - winning
catches for 1950. or scan angling
records, and they'll learn mighty
fast that women hold an appreci-
able number of those records.
Naturally, if a woman hasn't been
fishing much before she says "I
do" to some man, she isn't going
to be able to transform herself into
a perfect angling companion over-
night. Neither did her husband, if
he'll admit, for the average angler
learns to plug-cast or handle a fly
rod only after much assiduous prac-
tice. So, don't be impatient with the
little lady if you have to show her
the rudiments of the angling art.
ToO, start her out with good
tackle. NoI to do so is a mistake
made all too frequently by men
who really try to make anglers of
their wives and fail when the mis-
sus gives up in anger or disgust
without ever realizing that faulty
tackle is to blame.
No, don't do that. If you're go-
Ing to start her at all, start her
with the best tackle you can afford,
no discards or hand-me-downs which
the veriest expert would have dif-
ficulty in using.
We don't expect this piece to start
an exodus of housewives from kitch-
ens to fishing water, but with the
proper encouragement and help,
there could be a lot of them who'd
find fishing with their husbands real
sport, and many husbands whose
experience would be similar when
fishing with their wives.

We may have called your atten-

bad idea to repeat it. So, we ad-

"MAN OR BEAST!"
HE CIRCUS season everywhere
was presaged by the run o
Ringling Brothers' in Madison
Square Garden, New York. Wit
its color, gaiety and daring, how
refreshing a circus seems after a
winter of scandals, "fixes." crime
sensations, spy trials, double-talk-
ers and general shabbiness! It
seems like the one thing untouched
by 10 per centers, gimme-gimme
boys, chiselers, artful dodgers, per-
jurers, mobsters and characters
whose courage runs out in the
presence of an honest query and a
video camera.
This would be a swell year
to run off with a circus. The joy
of getting away from a world
of crooked politicians, racket-
eers, gyps, traitors, corrupt
government agencies and all-
around operators in crime would
be terrific. It is a pleasing fact
that while you see all sorts of
animals in a circus you find
us rats or pigs.
$ * s
We enjoyed spending a few
hours every night in the Ringling
menagerie. It is refreshing to walk
ap and down before the cages and
observe the comparative decency,
dignity, poise and overall high
standards of animal behavior. The
African lions and Bengal tigers
seem much more trustworthy than
countless human beings paraded
in the news for the past six months.
The hyena has always struck us
as a particular menace, but this
spring he seems nearer to being
on the level than many hoodlums
end their ever-ready barristers.
We never fancied the black panther,
but we feel certain he wouldn't
take refuge behind, "I refuse to
answer on the ground it might
tend to incriminate and degrade
me."
The slinky puma has never been
one of our pets, but we have been
studying the circus specimens
carefully and are positive a car-
load of 'era would be less dangerous
to any community than a similar
cargo of finagling politicians, cor-
rupt public servants and 1951 model
heels. You can stare into the eyes
of a wildcat for hours and find
nothing in its expression or manner
half so shifty, hard and tricky as
you saw in the demeanor of dozens
of witnesses before the Kefauyer
committee• Can you imagine a
leopard ever needing a lawyer in
any situation?
We put in some time in front of
the gorilla cage. A big, ugly gorilla
looks pretty companionable "this
year. It shows no interest in money.
Somehow we can't imagine a gorilla
exposed as having had a wonderful
time gyping taxpayers, selling
drugs to kids and things like that.
To one ape we whispered, "How'd
you like to buy some trucks from the
Government for a coupla hundred
dollars and sell 'em back to the
Government for $3,500? Its disgust
and resentment was obvious. We
asked a keeper about elephants,
Whenever a "rogue" elephant is
found in the herd it is quickly
separated and put where it can
do no harm. (No long drawn-out
legal proceedings, no search for
loopholes, no appea/s, no briefs,
no $2 fines!)
The circus brings bacl an air of
wholesomeness, charm, and de-
cency. There is this to be said of
the big top: it never corrupted a
child or had to be probed by juvenile
delinquency students. The perform-
ers offer quite a fine.example to-
day, They made it the hard way,
and at the risk of life and limb
twice a day. The Man on the Flying
]:rapeze is infinitely more inspiring
than the Public Servant in the Re-
volving Grabbag, the Mobster on
the Public Neck and the Fixer in
the Rotating Basketball Victory.
Lemme hear that circus band!
